Are you tired of writing wire up code, based on events in WPF or Silverlight, like storyboard1.Begin() on a mouse click event? Join Bill Reiss, Microsoft Silverlight  MVP as he dazzles you in the new drag and drop functionalty of Silverlight behaviors in Expression Blend 3. This should save quite a bit of time and provide a great re-usable model for event handlers in WPF or Silverlight development.
